Vikings' defense driving playoff chase as O'Connell mulls another QB change

The Minnesota Vikings are still in control of a spot in the playoffs while facing the possibility of a fourth starting quarterback this season

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • Associated Press

Daniel Carlson - Zero attempts against former team Carlson did not attempt a kick in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Carlson managed to suit up Sunday despite dealing with an illness that impacted his practice participation earlier in the week, but he wasn't given the chance to attempt a single kick against his former team as the stout Vikings defense stymied the Raiders offense. An easier matchup awaits against the Chargers on Thursday Night Football in Week 15.

Justin Jefferson could play for the Vikings this week after a chest injury from a hard hit

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson avoided internal injury from the airborne hit he took while catching a pass that cut short his return to action

Justin Jefferson - Deemed day-to-day by coach Coach Kevin O'Connell called Jefferson (chest) day-to-day Monday, adding that Jefferson has a "good chance" to play Saturday against the Bengals, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jefferson's participation level in practice will bear monitoring, but this is the latest bit of encouraging news regarding the severity of the chest injury he suffered in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders. The star wide receiver was taken to the hospital as a precaution but traveled home with the team and has a good chance to avoid missing any further action. O'Connell didn't name a starting quarterback for Saturday's game, so if Jefferson plays, it remains to be seen whether Nick Mullens or Joshua Dobbs will be throwing him the ball.
